    Not talking so much about huge upsets, but huge shockers where the underdog had an unexpectedly dominant performance. Who has had some serious odds stacked against them then came in the fight and shocked everybody by whooping on the favorite like he stole somethin?

    Calzaghe-Lacy comes to mind.

    Hatton beating Tszyu was more of an upset than Calzaghe vs Lacy, by far.

    Rahman vs Lewis
    Douglas vs Tyson

    And a few others...... are much bigger upsets.

    Tito/Winky
    Trinidad's performance in that fight left alot to be desired

    Tito was done by then. He had no business at 160 anyway.

    Winky was a huge underdog against Tito and he just wrecked him.

    See, I said in the first post not "upsets" but shocking performances in which the underdog utterly controlled the fight when he wasnt expected to.

    Yea, good call. I think most of us had Tito by KO inside 8.

    Mosley getting thrashed by Forrest. He really took some punishment in that one. Not a massive underdog, but still.

    I had been "away" from boxing for a year before that fight, and when my brother said they would fight I said I would be rooting for Tito and bragged about how he would probably smash that Winky who would just stand there in front of him. And my brother said I was wrong and put some money on Tito.

    Surprised the hell out of me. :scaredas:
